NAME

       MPI_Get_processor_name  - Gets the name of the processor.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Get_processor_name(char *name, int *resultlen)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME(NAME, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  NAME
            INTEGER        RESULTLEN, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void Get_processor_name(char* name, int& resultlen)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       name      A unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node.

       resultlen Length (in characters) of result returned in name.

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine returns the name of the processor on which it was called at the moment of the
       call. The name is a character string for maximum flexibility. From this value it  must  be
       possible  to  identify  a  specific  piece  of  hardware. The argument name must represent
       storage that is at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME characters long.

       The number of characters actually written is returned in the output argument, resultlen.

NOTES

       The user must provide at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME space to write the  processor  name;
       processor  names can be this long. The user should examine the output argument, resultlen,
       to determine the actual length of the name.

ERRORS

       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and
       Fortran  routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default
       error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then  on  error  the  C++  exception
       mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.

       Before  the  error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default,
       this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The  error  handler
       may    be   changed   with   MPI_Comm_set_errhandler;   the   predefined   error   handler
       MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not
       guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
